Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him—water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.

You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictionary is your most useful book.
The number of different languages spoken is about( ).
